Jaguars WLB Telvin Smith said he isn't concerned about a potential contract extension.

Smith is entering the final year of his rookie deal. A 2014 fifth-rounder out of FSU, Smith is an asset in today's NFL as a linebacker with safety speed and sideline-to-sideline ability. An every-down player, Smith was Pro Football Focus' No. 8-ranked 4-3 outside linebacker last season, grading out second best in run defense. Beat writer Ryan O'Halloran believes Smith could command a Kiko Alonso-type deal at four years and $28 million. Apr 19 - 10:07 AM
